Cr recovery mainly depends on reducibility of the chromite ore. From the input Cr to the furnace, other than recovered Cr to ferro-alloy, the balance mainly reports to slag and some to furnace dust. In case of hard and dense ore, the dust portion is low, but depending on ore reducibility and its size, the Cr2O3 content of slag can increase.
